The Housing Market Recovery with Gary Allen

Back in 2008, the financial situation in the US and around the world almost collapsed. Thanks to controversial but fast action by the financial industry and the government, a total collapse was avoided. One of the major factors involved in the financial troubles was the housing market. It took a drastic drop during the crisis. Thousands of people were forced out of their homes due to foreclosures and other problems. Gary Allen remembers that time well.

The crisis was a huge problem, and the housing market was sinking very far down. Luckily, in the years since the financial troubles of 2008 and 2009, the housing markets have made somewhat of a recovery. Gary Allen Developer has worked in real estate for over forty years, so he is very supportive of anything that helps to improve the housing market and any other market related to real estate.

Some of the current news about the housing market isn’t extremely encouraging. There are signs of improvement though. It is predicted that there will be about five million homes sold in 2013. Added to that, the median price on housing has a chance to rise by about seven percent this year as well.

The inventory of listed homes at the end of February came in around 1.5 million. Throughout a majority of cities, the housing inventories have fallen, but that doesn’t mean the housing market is doing fine. There is still disagreement as to whether the housing market is recovering in a healthy manner. The entire system is fairly complicated, and for the general population it is hard to follow what exactly determines whether the market is recovering in a healthy manner or not.

Today there are institutional investors in the markets, although traditionally the housing market is driven by individuals. Because of all of the changes and problems of the last few years, institutional investors have become more influential in the housing markets and are contributing to the price recovery.

Fortunately, when looking into the data and information, the recovery in the housing markets appears to be a sign of an improving economy, and it seems that institutional investors are the ones driving home purchases and sales. They are rehabbing and renting the homes. They are causing the upturn in home prices and providing homes for those who can’t qualify for a mortgage. Gary Allen Developer hopes that the housing market continues to improve as it is usually a strong barometer of economic performance for the US.
